Jersey Travel Forum

I am an avid collector of Dinky and Corgi Toys. Dinky(Mecanno) is out of business since 1983. I am wondering buy chance if any of them were exported or shipped to the channel islands prior to 1983. They would have found their way by this time to collectors or persons selling to antique shops. Are their any
active antique shoppes in the Channel islands that might stock antique toys ??
I have a scheuled trip to Jersey and Guernsey during 24-28 OCT 2009. Any info
I could acquire about toys or antie shoopes would be greatly appreciated.

Hello

This is a similar post to one earlier but me & my wife will be staying in St Helier over New Year.

Can you please tell me if the center of St Helier has any organised New Years Eve party's or fire works etc like back in the UK. I guess there would be.

We are trying to find out if the Hotel we are staying at is doing anything special on New Years Eve but to be honest we would prefer to be in the St Helier center with the locals if there is any action.

Also, can you recommend any decent restaurants such as Fish, Italian or Indian or any that are unique to Jersey? Its our wedding anniversary so a nice romantic meal is required.

Many thanks

Regards

I bought some earrings from a craft stall at St Aubins - silver on copper, can anyone tell me the name of the jeweller, and if they have a website, I would like to buy some more.

Hi there,

We are planning to spend the long Christmas weekend (24 to 28 December) on the island of Jersey. We have been to the Channel Islands before, but never during this time of the year, so we were just wondering a couple of things:

First, will everything close down on Christmas and Boxing Day? (We will be based on St Helier and we are mostly concerned about restaurants and public transport)

Also, is it possible to take a day trip from Jersey to Guernsey by boat? (We were thinking of doing this either on Boxing Day or Saturday 27)

Thank you all

Is there any guided tour available in Jersey? If yes, can I know their website address or phone number.

Hi folks, I'm currently helping to organise a holiday to Jersey for my parents for June. I'd love to find a hotel that's comfortable but doesn't cost the earth and also need a room that is accesible for a wheelchair user. My dad has MS and therefore cannot walk anything more than around 20 steps at a time- stairs are also an issue.

They're keen to return to jersey after holidaying there many years ago- any hotel and area recommendations will be greatly appreciated! Thanks for your time,

Best Wishes,
Tierna

I heard that a cigarette and alcohol are more inexpensive with the jersey than the British mainland, but will the other things be cheap?
(Chocolate, Crisps and etc..... )
I go to the island in this autumn; is planning it.
(but it's so long long way from my home....)
Thanks, MAIGO

Hi there, we are planning to visit Jersey in June for 3 nights, and we have problems looking for accomodation. We would like to rent self catering apartments, but doesn't seems alot on the internet.

I just wonder could anyone suggest some nice self catering apartment? We don't mind which area. And if we really have no luck in booking them before we travel, is it easy to book the accomodation when we are there?

by the way, there will be 5 of us travelling.

Thanks very much!

I worked in Jersey.C.I between 1979 - 1984,i'm hoping to visit this summer,can anyone tell me if "Tamms Bar" and "The Jolly Roger Cafe" are still on St Brelades Bay?

My partner worked over 10-20 years ago at the Beaumont on Jersey, Channel Islands. Does anyone know whether this hotel still exists?

Hi, I was wondering..we are considering going to Jersey at the end of october, and I was looking for ferries, I am only finding catamarans though and I hate being "stuck" in a boat, I like to go on deck. Does anyone know where I can find a conventional ferry from France to Jersey? And also, is there a possibility to go on deck on the catamarans, as I assume it's not possible...
Thank you

Hi, I desperately need help with choosing a campground in New Jersey. It’s my first time actually going camping in USA. I want to go in May and prefer sleeping in a tent, plan to go on Friday and come back on Sunday. I really need to experience camping, so I just need somebody to give me advice where to go. Thank you.

hello to all!
I'm going to Jersey very soon. I'll put my feet there on Friday :) I'd like to spend a nice time there but also find a job (eg. waitress). Do you think this is possible? Where should I start looking for it? Are the employers willing to give a job to a foreigner? And where one can stay for an affordable price? Is it possible to rent a room there and share it with friends?
I'll be very grateful for your help.

Can anyone please tell me do U.K. citizens get free medical care when on holiday in Jersey or must I take out Travel Insurance for my long weekend break.
